Recital 5
(5) Directive 1999/35/EC provided that every 12-month period a specific survey and a survey during regular service must be carried out by host States. Although the objective of this requirement was to ensure that these two inspections are carried out with a certainsufficient interval between them, the REFIT fitness check demonstrated that this is not always the case. To remove the ambiguity of that requirement and to ensure a common safety levelIn order to clarify the inspection regime and ensure a harmonised inspection framework that ensures a high safety level, while taking account of the common needs of the services, it should be clarified that the two annual inspections should take place at regular, approximately six monthly intervals, it being understood that the minimum interval should not be less than four months and more than eight months.

(6a) Given their high and specific risk profile, ro-ro ferries and high-speed passenger craft should be systematically considered as high-risk vessels and therefore inspected as a matter of priority. As such, their inspections should be included in the total number of annual inspections to be carried out by each Member State, as provided for in Article 5 of Directive 2009/16/EC. Annex II to that Directive should therefore be amended accordingly.
